It is my dream to have every YouTube ukulele player cover Elephant Town.

If you are in the dark as to what Elephant Town is, feast your eyes on little Tia's sublime song. I seriously think it's genius.

This post will be updated with each cover added to the list.

One tiny suggestion - please don't make fun of Tia. She's the bee's knees, and I'd hate for her to think that people are making fun of her.

This is a brilliant idea. Still need to make my naked song campaign video, and I'd rather not combine it with a song written by a 3-year-old, but when I'm in recording mode expect to see something ridiculous from me.
 
Give me about 4 hours... ;)

Seeso, you are one thoughtful sumbich! I'll do it.
 
If I only had recording capability, and if the song weren't a couple of octaves above my vocal range....I'd do it, too! ;)
 
When we did it yesterday, I was totally oblivious as to what it was and I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for letting me be a part of it Seeso.:shaka:
 
Far out! I'm gonna hafta take some time figuring the song out, but I'm in!
 
I dunno, pretty complicated cords there... :D
 
The C# chord (if that's what it really is) is truly sublime.

Thanks a lot Seeso, I guess. I've finally come out of my shell and recorded my first YouTube video. Be kind!

Mine's uploading as we speak. This makes me happy. I didn't think I was going to have time to record a video... and low and behold, I did it in ONE TAKE!
 
Great. Beeejums has thrown down the techno gauntlet - anybody else ready to mix things up while keeping the spirit of the original intact (great job, Beeejums!)

The possibilities are endless. Reggae Elephant Town, Country Elephant Town, Hip Hop Elephant Town:smileybounce:

I guess it's really more like a C7(b9) without the 7.

C(add b2) ?

C#dim/C ?

:anyone:
